"Unity In Christ"

May 19, 2024    Associate Pastor Ben Sorbello

"So Christ Himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ" ~ Ephesians 4:11-13 NIV


Here are some questions to ponder before our next training session with the Holy Spirit of God:

1. Have you been built up because of our trip down the Romans' Road?

2. Do we have unity in the faith and have we become mature in Christ?

3. Are we still living for ourselves, or have we surrendered to His cross and now live for our King and His Kingdom? 


We have to be honest with ourselves and each other as the body of Christ in Dover, PA. If we are all connected in our faith, we cannot suffer silently; we must speak up and ask for help. When untreated, that part of the body can become damaged or cause other parts of the body to be damaged. Let us be UNITED IN CHRIST and united TO each other part of the body of Christ at Friendship Community Church. Let us reach out to newer parts of the body, introduce ourselves, and see how they are doing, in order to prevent the body from getting sick and encourage it to remain healthy and strong. 


This week at Friendship, as we journey into Romans 15 with the Holy Spirit of God, we'll discuss the unity we should have in Christ. Are we operating as a body of Christ at Friendship or individual organs that are outside the body? Are we connected to one another or causing dissension by our words and deeds? Join us as we find out more about what it means to have UNITY IN CHRIST!
